Always interested in these sorts of projects, watching one man's vision come to fruition 
Have you got a final idea in your head of where you want to be with it?
The car will be totally original with brand new and or refurbished parts throughout. I'm in now so no turning back!Have you got a final idea in your head of where you want to be with it?
I understand when they were assembled at the factory there wasn't any rustproofing applied to the inner rear quarters prior to the outer wings going on. Any rust preventative applied afterwards wouldn't have reached the upper parts of the inner wings.
Mine looked perfectly OK on the outside, once the rear wings were off and the shell media blasted the inner quarters were found to resemble teabags, totally perforated with little or no integrity. Both sides, along with the rear panel between the rear lights. The outer panel was fine, the inner totally shot. The shell would have been useless in a side impact.
I now look at shiny, tidy cars and wonder what is lurking beneath.
